Hi guys after some advice I've just recently acquired a mk3 Ibiza 6k2 tdi with the asv engine in it I'm not sure if the model of car is available in the us but.

I'm basically going to buy a donation car so that I have everything there that I might need.

Has anyone ever carried out this kind of an engine transplant on bora golf etc and if so what did you need or anything needing fabricated to make it work etc.
I know ECU and loom are different that side of it is no problem.

Swapped out a ALH engine on a 99 Golf MK4, pretty straight forward as it had the 121 pin Ecu, so just had to swap the ECU and engine harness over. Also changed from 5 to 6spd at the same time, easiest conversion I've done to date :D

Sorry, made a typo. ASZ is pd130 Bhp and is a detuned pd150 engine and identical to the ARL engine from a mechanically point of view !
